“The leaders who work most effectively……
…….. it seems to me, never say ‘I’. And that’s not because they have trained themselves not to say ‘I’. They don’t think ‘I’. They think ‘we’; they think ‘team’. They understand their job to be to make the team function. They accept responsibility and don’t sidestep it, but ‘we’ gets the credit…. This is what creates trust, what enables you to get the task done.”
– Peter F. Drucker
Your position never gives you the right to command.
It only imposes on you the duty of so living your life that others may receive your orders without being humiliated.
— Dag Hammarskjöld
It is better to lead from behind……
….. and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.
Nelson Mandela
No institution can possibly survive if ……
……. it needs geniuses or supermen to manage it. It must be organized in such a way as to be able to get along under a leadership composed of average human beings.”
— Peter Drucker
